Will all registered players be placed on a team?
Yes, all registered players will be placed on a team based on their skill and performance.
Is placement based on even team talent or are the (ie. U15A and U15B) teams?
This depends on the players and the cabilber of our teams. Once we can assess, it will determine what competition and league/division they will play in.
When is the last day for registration?
We will close registration when we reach the capacity for the number of players/teams we have available.

Our coaches come from a variety of backgrounds - some are trained parent coaches, some are currently coaching Junior and High School teams. We also have coaches that have completed the Point Guard college masters program, Canada Basketball fundementals and other training courses. Our senior coaches provide mentoring throughout the season
